AP education reforms result in 2.8 lakh students opting for transfer to government schools
Major infrastructural lapses and negligence of the previous Government led to parents and students in the state of Andhra Pradesh preferring private schools over the Government-run or aided institutions for years now, CMO said.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy's education reforms have resulted in around 2.68 lakh students opting for transfer from private to government schools, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said in a statement. A total of 42.46 lakh students have enrolled themselves in Government or government-aided schools this year, which is 2.68 lakh more than the enrolment figure from 2019, which stood at 39.78 lakh, the CMO statement further added.
The Government's success in reversing the trend can be attributed to a plethora of student/parent-oriented schemes implemented since 2019. Jagananna Ammavodi, Nadu-Nedu and Jaganna Vidya Kanuka form the base of the Government's drive to place Government schools at par with their corporate counterparts, CMO added.
"Major infrastructural lapses and negligence of the previous Government led to parents and students in the state of Andhra Pradesh preferring private schools over the Government-run or aided institutions for years now," CMO stated.
Educational reforms undertaken by the present government, since it took over in May 2019 were aimed at reversing this very trend by uplifting the standard of education imparted at Government schools. Statistics reveal that the efforts of the Government in this direction have yielded immaculate results.
The Audimulapu Suresh, State Education Minister had earlier announced that the state government is planning to digitalise 45,000 schools by the next academic year. “Officials are working day and night to meet the CM’s deadline of completing work on the Nadu-Nedu initiative by the beginning of the academic year in June,” he further said.
